Only Wood. Only Smoke. Only the Real Thing.
At Allwoods, we don't cut corners. We burn them. We believe in using the best of everything: the best wood, the best offset smoker equipment, and the best-sourced meat. Because real BBQ doesn't come from shortcuts-it comes from fire, patience, and knowing exactly what you're doing.
Hickory Is Not a Choice—It’s a Standard
As our name promises, we use wood—and only wood. Hickory, to be exact.
No propane.
-
No charcoal.
-
No Pellets.
-
No imitation flavoring.
Where Flavor Proves Itself
Just real fire, real smoke, and real flavor. Because those who know true wood-smoked meat don’t need convincing. They recognize it in the first bite.
The Work Most Won’t Do—We Do
Some call it hard work. We call it the process. Through the night, we manage the fire, monitor every cut, and stay locked into the rhythm of the smoker. Hours go into every batch—because that’s what it takes to get it right.
-
Fire carefully maintained.
-
Meat watched, turned, and perfected.
-
Smoke layered slowly and intentionally.
From Pit to Plate, Done Right
When the smoking is done, we don’t rush the finish. Every cut is rested properly before it’s carved fresh and served the way it should be. You can enjoy Allwoods your way. Because great BBQ should fit how you want to eat it:
-
By the Plate
-
By the Sandwich
-
By the Pound
Sides That Stand on Their Own
We don't treat sides like an afterthought-they're part of the experience. Made with the same care as everything coming off the smoker.
-

-
Rich, Slow-Cooked Baked Beans
-
Creamy Mac & Cheese
-
